Nothing in Contracts or Store to accept or Purchase

[SaintedNine]

Have the update. created both contracts and store stations, but there are no contracts to accept or thing to buy.. any one else experiencing this. I have enabled economy in the games settings. tried creating a new game same thing. this is single player survival mode.

Did you turn the settings on in world settings? They are under the same tab with all the other optional stuff from cargo ships to subgrid damage to scripts.

[SaintedNine]

yep.. down at the bottom of the advanced world settings, I clicked the box for "Enable Economy" lets me build the modules, but nothing shows up..

There is a second setting about contracts.

So you built the blocks but haven't made contracts or purchase orders ???

[SaintedNine]

yes, I have the one for enabling bounty contracts selected as well. am I supposed to find an NPC trading post in the world or something? I figured I could build my own contract station and start accepting contracts to complete. I haven't created any contracts or purchase orders.

I imagine they would have to belong to a certain faction, otherwise you are just making your own.

The blocks you have built represent your faction if you have made one, find a NPC station to see what they want to buy / sell and their contracts.

I respawned in a new pod to get my hands on a data pad to find my first NPC station on my pre existing world, turn off auto respawn in your advanced settings then respawn in a pod.

There maybe another way to find them but that is how I did it.

[SaintedNine]

Nevermind, I figured it out… I didn't realize the game added an NPC faction trading pst to by world near my base with the contracts and store.... thanks for posting quick replies guys!

[Smokey]

Happy to help, best of luck engineer 👍👍

So in single player survival there's no point in making your own store/contract blocks on a station? Have to go visit an NPC station to do anything?

[I prefer to run alone]

Guys, how do I find an NPC base? I've been flying through space for hours and nothing found.

@Lanigav

We can create contracts but the SE programmer asked the community to share Feedbacks on the Portal and A LOT of testers have done so I recommend to visit the Portal to now more and participate in the making of SE.

They will spawn at the Planets and Moons and the best is the Earth Moon cause they spawn very close to my Station over there.

Also we must use the Data pad in the starting cockpit to find the first NPC Station.

If you are like me > Creative Guy < that creates the world from scratch

Here how it goes for creators :

1 - Load the world in creative with nothing in so no NPCs.

2 - Paste your station + create your Faction on the Moon.

3 - Save/exit, go enable all in from the world advanced settings and set the world on survival.

= All is already in so a lot of NPC Stations will be in auto without having to search and find the first one

[Dan2D3D]

Oh! I forgot to specify :

I did not completely tested the contract block so I don't have much XP with it but I have noticed that we can create new contrats in the Admin button.

Maybe go watch Xocliw Live on Twitch, he is one of the Devs that shares the videos in game F1.

And I don't think we can mess with the Store block = testing needed to know more.

There is a data pad in your spawn ship that gives you the GPS for one station.
